She was a good instructor, I had fun doing a few on site shows. What I liked least were some of the girls on the collage team that are working students. The horses are very well behaved here and that is a good thing for some of these girls. They talk down to you like you don't know what you are doing all the while they themselves doing things that would have gotten them, a horse (or you) injured if they were dealing with anything but a super quiet horse. I think if you just want to go and ride with no attachments ie: get in get out and little interaction. This would be the perfect place to ride. You will learn a lot here, mostly what to do and fixing previous bad habits. The lessons were great. The only one thing I was not a fan of is they do lean to the emphasis of a heavier hand/bit contact than I was taught when I was younger. Higher strung/ sensitive horses I've ridden in the past would not have tolerated the level of contact I was using here.

Our facility has recently moved to Tiverton, RI - it is absolutely gorgeous! We have a great team of instructors, and an amazing group of lesson horses that are all healthy, happy, well cared for and love their job!

Lindsey Canesi of Sunflower Meadows Equestrian is outstanding as a trainer for your horse or as an…read moreinstructor for children and adults. She has many years of equestrian experience from childhood and up through the ranks as an adult and uses that knowledge to help beginners develop a great base on the ground and under saddle. She is also able to help the advanced riders reach their goals and she does it all with care and patience. Lindsey has the gift of being able to communicate her knowledge to her students and their success in the show ring is proof positive! ....to sum it up, in one sentence: She excels with young children, making them feel safe and at ease while providing a fun filled riding experience and challenges the advanced riders to reach new levels of success. My personal experience with Lindsey has spanned many years now! I have left my beloved Thoroughbred with her on numerous occasions and he was cared for as if her were her own and as a boarder, that's the most important aspect to look for when making a decision wherein to stable your horse. If you are looking for an instructor or trainer, please give Lindsey a call, she will spend all the time you need on the phone or in-person and will answer endless questions with a smile on her face. She will greet you at the barn with a well mannered pony or horse for your lesson or a clean stall to board your horse and I guarantee that if you are utilizing my review as a blind-faith method of trying someone new, you will not be sorry that you did!

This is a great place to learn to ride!…read more I started lessons at Reevedale with Katie a few weeks ago, after buying their Groupon deal. Groupon, as we all know, is a little bit touch and go, both for business owners and for consumers. There were a bunch of barns offering Groupons, I picked Reevedale because they offer both hunt and saddle seat. I rode Western a little as a kid, and have always been curious about other disciplines; I doubt I'm brave enough to get into eventing, which I'd always daydreamed about, but I know I'd love to ride gaited horses! I was a little nervous that the barn might be snobby, as can sometimes be the case, but I decided to let go of the nerves, check my ego at the door, and get in there and learn to ride. In the end, it's all about your expectations. Ultimately, I was looking for a good atmosphere, where my incompetence on horseback could be kindly corrected by both horse and instructor, with the eventual hope of being able to properly communicate with a horse while on it's back. What I found at Reevedale was a warm, friendly environment. The horses are happy, well-trained and well-treated, and they're kind enough to put up with me as I learn to use my weight, legs and hands to ask them to do different things. Katie doesn't yell, she speaks up and gives clear instruction when she sees you slipping out of form, something even a seasoned rider will do when they're tired, or out of shape, and something that a beginner like me is going to do in an attempt to keep my balance! She looks out for me, keeps me safe and upright, and lets me know when I should move my legs up, or back, or when it looks like I'm ready to try something new. They've got an indoor area, so this doesn't have to be a spring-time only hobby for me, which is great because I need a reason to get out and be active in the winter time! In short, this is a place that I could see myself getting some really valuable instruction, and memorable equine face time! If you're looking to get into equestrian sports, or if you'd like to find a nice place to send your kids to learn, I highly recommend Reevedale Farm!

Primarily a saddle seat barn, they've got a strong lesson program that's great for kids and adults alike. Most of their horses are American Saddlebreds, but they've got some Morgans, at least one cute Arab, a few ponies, and a quarter horse who I rode a few times for lessons. Lillian & Katie have a strong sense of what you need next, and I found that in listening to them closely and following their instructions I was able to gain skills and regain strength in the saddle post-baby, all of which was of great benefit to me. Because they're great at what they do, and they have talented horses and riders on their team, they go to a lot of shows. They went to Devon last year, as well as quite a few other local and regional shows, so if you're interested in riding saddleseat and competing, this is probably the best barn in the area for you. I found their clients to be friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough that I would breathe a sigh of happy relief every time I walked in, no snooty barn drama to be found here... at least not in my experience! I was side lined with a back injury for a few months after taking lessons here, and I'm thinking of going in a different direction with my riding (dressage), but I would highly recommend Rocking Horse to anyone and everyone with a passion for horses, particularly if you want to learn to ride saddle seat or if you'd like your child to start in a lesson program.

I currently board my 30 year old gelding with her. I have him on full board, and he couldn't get better care, she treats him as if he were her own. There is a heated tack room, with cable TV and a REAL bathroom. It's hard to find barns with those around here. The barn itself offers box stalls, and is in fantastic condition. There are also a few in/out stalls available. The outside is beautifully maintained. The horses all have decent sized individual paddocks, with water spouts and protection from the elements in each one. There is an outside wash stall, a large outside arena with excellent lighting. A newly renovated and large round pen. They offer full board, semi rough, and rough board. All at extremely reasonable prices. They offer clinics, cow sorting and fun shows on property, and travel to all sorts of area shows. I can't say it enough. My horse and I absolutely love it here.
